You are in the right place to complete your scholar's registration.

We are using this website (Birdies for Charity) for registration this month because it helps cover credit card fees and brings extra support to our summer program.

This is the donation page to pay for your scholar’s HYPE Freedom School Registration Fee.

To pay your registration fee, you will:

   1. Click the “Donate” Button:

   2.  Select “custom amount” under Donation Details

   3.  Enter the amount you will pay today based on the Registration Fee amounts.

   4. (Optional) Guess how many birdies will be scored during the Houston Open golf tournament.  This is part of the Birdies for Charity program and is completely optional.
You can:

• Make a guess if you’d like
• Or simply select “Skip Birdies Guesses” to continue with payment

For the month of March, HYPE is using the Birdies for Charity website to process summer program registration payments. We are using this platform because it covers credit card fees and helps bring additional funds to support our summer program.

Your registration payment still goes toward your scholar’s participation, and the program also receives additional support that helps provide books, meals, and enrichment activities for all scholars.

HYPE’s 2026 Registration fee is $150.00 per scholar.  This is a one time fee.  

HYPE is able to cover the cost of the $1,500 tuition per scholar which includes books, staff, field trips, t-shirts and all program activities through generous donations and fundraisers.

This Birdies for Charity campaign allows you to also have a chance to win prizes by guessing the amount of Birdies (a golf term) for the Houston Open golf tournament. This is completely optional and does not affect your scholar’s payment for registration.

HYPE has several payment options listed below.  These options are designed to:

• Give options for those families who are in a position to not only cover the cost of their scholar’s registration fee (Pay It Forward), but also donate the cost of the registration fee for another scholar.  
• Ensure that the registration fee does not prevent a scholar from participating.  

Please choose the option that best fits your family’s situation at this time.  

   1.  Pay It Forward – $250

Families who are able may choose this option to cover their scholar’s registration while also helping support another scholar who may need assistance.

   2.  Full Registration – $150

This option covers the full registration fee for one scholar participating in the HYPE Freedom School Summer Program.

   3.  Full Registration Installments – $41.67 (Families may pay the full registration fee in three installments of $41.67).

   4.  Deposit Payment of $25.00 per scholar (or a minimum of $25.00)

The deposit will go towards your scholar’s registration fee and hold your scholar’s registration spot. 
You may also choose this option if you would like to support the program as a:

• Meal or Snack Sponsor – Help provide food for a program day
• Volunteer – Support program activities as a helper

If you have questions about registration or scholarship options, please contact the HYPE team at info@hypefs.org. We are happy to help ensure your scholar is registered and ready for an exciting summer.
